Moderator John Powers introduces the final panel section, entitled 'Then What: Life After the Games'. The panelists include Mark Fusco, member of the 84 US Men's hockey team; Jim Herberich, three time Olympic bobsledder; Bonnie St. John, Paralympic skier and double medalist; Samantha Harvey who competed in the Olympic Pentathlon at the 2004 Athens games; and Ted Donato who played on the 1992 US Men's Olympic hockey team in Albertville, France and was one of the all-time greatest scorers during his career at Harvard. "There is no such thing as a former Olympian, " Powers explains, "you are one for life ". Nonetheless, there is a time when an athlete ceases to be an active Olympian; sometimes the choice is voluntary and sometimes not.
